‘Red Valley’ Zombie Short Out Of New Zealand Made For Pennies!

Director Matt Barnes e-mailed us a story we couldn’t refuse, especially because their 5-minute short is pretty good.

“A bunch of mates and I here in New Zealand decided to make a shoestring budget fake trailer. Except we didn’t really even have enough money for the shoestring. All we could afford was ingredients from the supermarket for fake blood and a load of clothing from a charity shop that sells it by the kilogram,” Barnes tells us. “And so, we made “Red Valley”, a pisstake of action/ horror trailers involving the crazed Colonel Bay sending in his all-female elite fighting team to a valley infested by post-apocalyptic cannibal mutants to rescue a General…or at least his eyeball.

“The end result involved over 70 people, none of which were paid a cent…even the guy we set on fire.”
